I've got no idea what my team(s) will be like. So many characters I want to play as this time... :shock:

<Kaboom> I'm just glad that he now sounds more like Invader Zim than Rita Repulsa
<Xyex> Original Freeza never sounded like a chick to me.
<Kaboom> Neither does Rita
<Xyex> Good point.

Freeza's Elite.. I can see myself using a mix like this a lot.

- Freeza
- Ginyu
- Zarbon
- Dodoria
- Kewi

.. okay, so maybe Kewi isn't "elite". He's there as a last resort / meat shield. And I might swap out Dodoria for Recoome or Jeice. That blob is just there for color.

The Official website for Sparking! NEO has been updated once again.

The Front Page now shows the following characters:
Gohan
Radditz
Nappa
Dodoria
Zarbon (Transformed)

The Image section has the following characters up:
Yi Xing Long (Called Omega Shenron on the site for whatever reason...)
Bebi
Pan
Uub

And the Game secion includes more about the Dragon Adventure mode, with quite a few screen shots.

You can check it all out here at dbzs-neo.jp

That would be laziness. They're using the US names.

The cutscenes would suck without facial expression. What's the use for cutscenes if they're not going to put facial expressions? Would it just kill them? No! Dragon Ball Z3's WAY better at facial expressions.
Now now, let's not jump to conclusions, most of those screenshots are from the flying part of the game, I wouldn't expect them to give the characters 25 different facial expressions for a section where you'll be watching their backs for most of the time. Plus they do have that dead serious expression most of the time when flying to a fight anyway. >.>;;

As to the five person team? Ginyu Tokusentai!

Or the aforementioned human power idea. Although with me that would probably consist of Kuririn, Yamucha, Tenshinhan, Kame-sennin and alternatingly Chaozu or Mr. Satan. (Come on Spike, give us Chi-Chi in this game too >.>;; )

Although I plan on buying the Ps2 version, it would be pretty cool to reenact the Buu fight with one player holding his hands to the sky to build a Genki Dama whilw the other player tries to fend of Buu.
Jord doesn't have a avatar because the combination of Jord and a equally cool avatar would cause the universe to implode.

Oh my...

Team Monkey!

1. Vegeta (Scouter)
2. Nappa
3. Raditz
4. Bardock
5. Tur1es

Think of the carnage!


Oh yeah, I have a complaint. Tenshinhan NEVER wears his Buu saga outfit without his damn cape! Where's the cape? C'mon people, petition!

My GT-era heroes team (when I get this game for the Wii... someday) will be...

Goku (SSj4. Duh.)
Uub (Yeah... Uub.)
Vegeta SSj4 (Hairy Saiyan #2)
Gogeta SSj4 (The Ultimate Hairy Saiyan)
Pan (I dunno.. will she suck as much as she did in the show?)

I wish Ledgic and Nova Shenlong were playable. I'd use 'em.

Yes, I am inexplicably obsessed with GT; Don't ask why, cause I don't know.

I would like to play as Bojack's crew:

1. Bojack
2. Gokua
3. Zangya
4. Bido
5. Bujin

But what happened? They had added Zangya, but not Gokua? Gokua has a transformation and a sword! Sword fight between Gokua and Trunks would so awsome. If they have five person fighting system, they should really start to complete certain groups (like Bardock's crew). And with complete groups, what-ifs stories are going to be a blast.

I agree; I could do without Bujin and Bido, but if they're going to include Bojack and Zangya, Gokua should just be an obvious choice. Maybe they'll give his transformation to her instead. :D

Just because you don't like them doesn't mean they're worthless.

I think I'd end up using a team made up of:
Kid Goku
Kuririn
Yamcha (hopefully they include one of his DB-era looks as a costume... Please? =/)
Grandpa Gohan
Turtle Hermit.

Team Turtle-style!

4) Piccolo (i think hes the smartest character there that actually fights)
5) uub (again, why not)

My 5 man team would be...

1. Random guy #231

2. Random guy #15

3. Random guy #78

4. Random guy #354

5. Saibaman #5

What I'm trying to say, is that I'd like to play as some generic Henchmen- using some cheats. :twisted:

Let's try and not let this thread COMPLETELY degenerate into people just throwing up a list of five characters :P. Constructive conversation, please! Thanks!

I am not really sure if kid Kuririn is going to be in the game but..
Lets just hope Piccolo Daimao is in. I mean they must put every
Budokai character if they hope this game gets the first place right?
